Pretty much all sports stadiums and arenas these days provide entertainment for fans….in addition to that of which the athletes themselves provide.
All sorts of interactive crap such as video games are available for people to increase their overall experience as a fan.
In fact, Chase Field in Phoenix, home the Arizona Diamondbacks, actually has a swimming [...]

Okay, here’s my latest idea for a movie — it’s a parody/satire/mockumentary/spoof kinda thing.
It’s like “The Wrestler,” but instead of following the hardships of an over-the-hill wrestler, it follows the life of a sports mascot —- one waste past his prime would be ideal.
The trials and tribulations would all be there — the bouts with [...]

Long time NY Jets nemesis, and rival Miami Dolphins player Jason Taylor is now a Jet.  He’s about to sign his contract.
He’s on record as once saying: “Jets fans take the c-l out of class.” Also, he’s said the Jets fans’ chants are dumb.  Oh, and he also stated in the past (in terms of [...]

Oh, it’s coming, and I predict within the next 20 years (which is only 5 more Olympic games).
First of all, beach volleyball has been added to the summer games, and snowboarding to the winter games.  While neither of those sports has the sexual provocativeness of pole dancing, beach volleyball players are half-naked, and snowboarding has [...]

In the NFL before an upcoming game, each team lists the status of it’s injured players.
A player can be listed as:  Probable, Questionable, Doubtful, or Out.
From left to right, those statuses go from most likely to play —- to not playing.
Now, whether it’s a regular Evite or an invitation for an event via Facebook, the [...]

I wonder if this is something that little girls someday dream of becoming.  After all, at least half of all NFL (and other sports) sideline/field reporters are female.
The thing is, most aspiring careerists who go through broadcasting school I think would prefer to be in the booth, doing play by play.
As much as women have [...]

This post is unrelated to Haiti, so don’t yell at me, or give me the whole “it’s too soon” routine….
Anyway a bowling alley.  For sure.  Bowling alley.
Suppose I decide to get seriously into bowling.  Eventually I’d start gambling on games.
I’m midst of a game with high stakes, I’d be about to attempt an important throw [...]

There’s no excuse for this.  Especially not in 2010.  Why does seating with obstructed views still exist?  (Yankee Stadium, Citifield, others)
Are stadium and arena architects really this stupid?
You’d think if millions, possibly billions of dollars went into a project, that all seats would come with a view of the entire playing surface included.
I can’t wait [...]

Anytime two guys are playing pool, and one of ‘em reaches for the bridge, undoubtedly the other will immediately give him (me) shit.
“You’re using the bitchstick!?”  This is likely what will be heard.  In all the years that I’ve been playing pool, I’ve heard the term bitchstick used countless times, but never really have received [...]

Before the Jets/Colts AFC Championship game a couple of weekends ago, friend of mine Dave Wheeler said he was seriously considering putting money on the Jets.
Well, in the end it was wise of him not to, since the Jets not only lost, but failed to cover the point spread as well.
“I woulda lost,” Dave proclaimed.
With [...]
